Question 1

Will Mikla tell a caller whether they need a will or a trust?

Accepted Answer

No. That is the attorney judgement and Mikla will not preview it or hint at it. It records the family, the property, and the documents that already exist. It states your consultation terms and books the meeting. It gives no legal advice and no tax guidance.

Question 2

How does it tell a planning call from a probate call?

Accepted Answer

It asks early and plainly. Is the caller arranging things for themselves, or dealing with an estate after a death? From there the two conversations split. Documents and family shape on one side. Date of death and county on the other.

Question 3

A planning enquiry went quiet in February. Is that work lost?

Accepted Answer

Only if nobody keeps in touch. People come back months later, after a retirement, a new grandchild, or the sale of a second property. Mikla keeps an unhurried thread going on the schedule you set. It stops when the client books or tells you they are finished.

Question 4

Do you record which adviser or accountant sent the client?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on every file. The referring name goes on the record. The referrer gets a note that their client was looked after. You can then see which relationships produce work instead of guessing.

Question 5

Somebody calls the week after a death. Is that handled carefully?

Accepted Answer

The wording for that caller is written separately. No sales language, no pressure, and no question asked twice. Mikla takes the name of the person who died, the county, and where the will is. Then it offers the next administration meeting.

Question 6

Can it gather documents before the meeting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It asks for what your team needs: an existing will, a deed, a beneficiary designation, or a trust drafted elsewhere. It reminds the client until the file is complete. Your attorney reads before the meeting instead of during it.

Question 7

What about a caller with property in more than one state?

Accepted Answer

That detail decides how long the meeting needs to be. Mikla records every state where property sits. It also records business interests and blended family arrangements. The right amount of attorney time gets booked the first time.

Question 8

Can it schedule a signing appointment?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A signing needs the client, the witnesses, and a notary in one room. Mikla books it into the slots your office keeps for signings, confirms in writing who has to attend, and reminds everyone the day before.
